Christina's Work Journal

Final Thoughts....

2008-06-13T16:06:00.002+01:00

Well, since finishing animating there was a lovely almost 2 weeks worth of rendering and sending the batches to Jessica to composite and edit.
In the mean time I have been downloading songs and helping Jess select the soundtrack.
For the last 3 days I have prepared some funky 60s credits (which I will post up tonight) but unfortunately they were not exporting correctly and would becaome corrupt afterwards, hopefully we can fix this in time for the degree show. So for now we have plain credits but the film itself came out amazing, well done Jess for the final put together, and well done to myself and Eva for being part of the process :)

I do feel a little left out when it came to the post production side of things, I wasn't asked to do anythign but render. I do feel though that my bulk of animation and other production work has been valued and has been a major input to the film. I think I have grown through this group project and have deffinitly established a new talent in animation that I will now aspire to improve prosporously in the field.

Xiao Xiao take 2

2008-06-05T13:17:00.001+01:00

Here's another attempt of trying to figure out how Jessica Do imagines this..

Scene 5: signed, sealed, delivered!

2008-06-05T02:22:00.003+01:00

phew scene 5 is officially ready to render. So here's a playblast of it, too bad the quality is really bad and small, sorry. But enjoy anyway!

Little Owl's loopdeloop!

2008-06-05T02:03:00.002+01:00

Okidoke been doing a bit more extra animation, we forgot all about this part in the film where he loopdeloops around the moon. So here it is....

AAAAHHHH something's wrong with pigeon 3!

2008-06-03T13:10:00.004+01:00

ooooh noooo, somethings wrong with Pigeon 3! something happens to his textures when the blendshapes move around or even just when his head does. The strange thing is, this does not happen through the perspective view, just the camera, so maybe the lighting is having an effect? or camera settings? Here's a playblast, you can slilghtly notice because its crappy quality but below are also some screen caps of what I'm seeing.....

Little Owl Freaking Out!

2008-06-03T07:43:00.004+01:00

This was fun to do, this is little owl just as he runs to the pavement when he almost gets run over.
Aside from being out of breath he then realises that he's burnt, and then he vomits out his lunch :P
With a little burp to follow at the end. Poor Little Owl.

Run Little Owl Run

2008-05-29T21:32:00.003+01:00

I actually found it quite difficult doing a running cycle directly into an already animated scene, so I had to do a bit of a play around with the rig first in a seperate Maya file.

Almost only 2 weeks to go until hand in date (June 13th)!!!

'Moon Smile' part 2.

2008-05-28T12:52:00.004+01:00

Annnnd this is another test for 'Moon Smile', I wasn't sure how giddy she should be when she realises the goddess is giving her a gift, so I hope I made her apprehensive enough at the start to balance it out. If Jessica Do wants it changed at all that should be quite easy since I've got the principles down at least?

Helping out on 'Moon Smile' short

2008-05-27T11:15:00.004+01:00

I'm taking a few hours break from 'Little Owl's Day Out' to help Jessica Do on a teeny scene of her short film 'Moon Smile'. This is the part where little Xiao Xiao is on the bridge with the goddess and is about to be handed her lantern, so she's meant to be curious yet apprehensive. Then I just have to make her walk up to the goddess to receive it.
Here's what I've done of it so far, the timing hasnt been revised yet, just want to get the animation sorted first.

How Scene 5 is going....

2008-05-26T15:33:00.003+01:00

Well I think it's going OK, half way through it and still 5 days to complete it, then its alllllll editing and rendering for 2 weeks!
Here's a clip so far without any pigeons in it yet.
I think its really funny when he comes out in the front part of the clouds but Jess wants to change it since you can see it going through the clouds geometry, I don't see it as a big deal though as long as the animation is spot on! But this is probably the only time you'll see it, I'm pretty sure she's going to make me take him away.

It's been awhile...no?

2008-05-24T11:52:00.003+01:00

With good reason too! I have been doing nothing BUT animating for scene 3, and have now just finished the huge scene 1!
This is the playblast...

Now I'm working on my last scene for the film, Scene 5! This is where my precious Pigeons beat Little Owl up, it should be quite challenging since it has 4 characters interacting AND he has to avoid getting hit by cars and then throw up.....so, all things I've never done before......should be fun :)

Scene 3 could be completed!!! maybe.....

2008-05-06T19:08:00.003+01:00

Well, its done, without a final OK. But I've done the blendshapes (even though thanks to camera angles you can't fully appreciate them), done the animation, and done the graph editor clean-up, although in doing this some things have changed ever so slightly, like when flying he comes a little out of camera....but this can be fixed with camera work!

Now just to see tomorrow if tutors like it.

Little Owl Laying back

2008-05-05T22:27:00.005+01:00

well, in the end I had to do the lay back animation in a seperate file and import the owl after just because the one in the actual scene appears to have been used and abused too much in the scene that it kept deforming oddly everytime I tried to make him lay down.

Anyway, here he is in the file, now I'm going to import him to the scene.

so far....

2008-04-27T20:56:00.002+01:00

Just have to make him lay down now.

slight camera changes and other stuff

2008-04-23T09:03:00.001+01:00

Yay, colour! I changed the camera angle slightly again, slowed down the loop and improved his flying a tad (especially on the zoom), Jess still doesn't think the loop belongs in the scene though... :(

Scene 3, part 1, attempt 2

2008-04-22T15:07:00.006+01:00

Here it is with the camera change that Jess wanted, I also tweaked the flight a bit, added more feet movement and the loop is slightly slower.
I also played around with some blendshapes.

Scene 3, part 1, attempt 1

2008-04-22T11:58:00.002+01:00

This was my first attempt of scene 3 part 1.
I did my own camera work for it (apart from the last bit when his head looks around, thats meant to be a zoom - hence why I didn't animate the feet.)
It's a tad bit fast because I'm trying to stick to the time frame that was given for this scene, however, Jess just gave me the OK to make it a little longer so that I could slow down the loop.
I also have to change the camera angle a bit to make the simple london background appear on the other side so that we can tell that he's in London.

Landing again...

2008-04-16T17:25:00.002+01:00

Here's the landing with some camera work, and from the side...for the actual scene though, I'll make it a bit more drastic when flying and the landing a teeny weeny bit slower me thinks...

Landing flop to success....kind of.

2008-04-16T17:01:00.007+01:00

The first test I wasn't very happy with, so I went back to my flight cycle in hopes that it would be easier to figure out from what I will be landing from... it worked!

Success.....but yet to be OK'd

Bad test

Flying Test 2

2008-04-11T11:02:00.002+01:00

Here he is flying again, but now the legs and hips move slightly and some changes to the wings also. I am having a lot of fun animating him :)

Flying test 1

2008-04-09T16:39:00.003+01:00

Here's a quick flying test...

Little Owl depressed work.

2008-04-09T11:51:00.001+01:00

And here's Little Owl walking slow and all depressed.

Bus...

2008-04-08T15:37:00.003+01:00

Here's the bus I've been making chunks at a time. I'm not really pleased with it at all, it appears I'm terrible at maching cars as such. But here it is without me attempting to clean it up, hope it turns out alright in the end.

Happy Walk, walking along.

2008-04-08T11:16:00.003+01:00

And here is is walking along at the pace I think suits...

Happy Walk 2

2008-04-08T10:46:00.004+01:00

And here it is from another angle :)

Happy walk

2008-04-07T16:35:00.006+01:00

Here's a little walk cycle I'm playing with for little owl, this is a happy step, like maybe when he's sightseeing or in a good mood. I haven't put any weight on his feet yet but I'll give it a shot tomorrow. :)

I don't think it's that bad for 20mins work haha

Pigeon 3 Mouth Blendshapes

2008-04-07T13:32:00.004+01:00

OK so here's Pigeon 3's blendhapes for his eyes, theyre exactly the same emotions as pigeon 1's, so it would be quite funny if they ever were to do the same one's at the same time.

2008-04-03T16:19:00.002+01:00

I know his nostril bits looked a bit too deep and sharp in the images below, so I tried to fix that, it looks better in maya now but when rendered it still doesn't look great, but I'm pretty sure that's just the default lighting settings.

Pigeon 2 Blendshapes

2008-04-03T16:06:00.004+01:00

I know!!! he's bald now, makes his face look chubby ehehe. But alas, the uv mapping was the reason, it would've been too difficult otherwise. Anywho, here are Pigeon 2's blenshapes...haven't been OK-ed yet by Jess though.

Back in action

2008-03-27T15:21:00.000Z

wow I haven't updated this in awhile. Anywho, I had a 'lovely' opperation on my eye so I haven't been able to do much (not allowed to do work or physical activness for 2 whole weeks!), but I'm all healed up now and have a lot of catching up to do.

Here's a list off the top of my head:

Blendshapes for pigeons (all three)
weight and rigging of pigeons
animation tests
animate scene Jessica set me

I think there were a few more things but thos are the most pressing for now.

wish me luck!

The cuter version

2008-02-21T17:12:00.002Z

Jess thought that my bat was a bit too evil looking hahaha, well we hadn't really determined what his personality was like so I just did what a bat would look like cartoony. Anyway, she stretched out his mouth a bit and made his face chubbier along with making the eyes a bit more subtle, I like it :)

Bat Man!

2008-02-21T12:00:00.003Z

He's not amazing, but he only has to be in the film for a few seconds so I made him 2000 polys AND in one day (hold the applaus please :) - haha I'm kidding) the only thing I can't do as always is the dang eyeballs! so I've handed him over to Jess to see if she can do it, otherwise I'll just re-arrange the face.

Pigeon 3 done but not OK-ed just yet.

2008-02-15T15:35:00.000Z

OK, so this is pigeon no.3 done and dusted, I couldn't make his hair curly like I wanted but I figured we could just put a nice curly texture on him instead and bump map it to save on polys and time.

I know it's been awhile but I've been working more on my dissertation since the due date is drawing ever closer (ahhh!), plus I've been sorting out moving house for the 1st March (wish me luck).

For doing this in 1 day I thought it was pretty good catching up. He hasn't got the thumbs up from Jess yet though.

Oh and he's 4000 polys without the eyes, just couldn't upload that image.

My February Schedual

2008-02-01T14:07:00.000Z

Here it is, as you can see I'm devoting a lot more time to my dissertation since it's due in next month and I'm quite behind.

Pigeon 2!!!!

2008-02-01T12:53:00.000Z

Here's my 2nd pigeon done, I'm still waiting for the OK from Jes, but here you go...

and here's the wireframe...

Mother Owl BlendShapes

2008-01-19T21:34:00.000Z

Ok, so here's the Mother Owl Blendshapes done, I didn't do her ultra confused look because I don't exactly know when we'd use that in the animation, I'm just trying to save time for now and if it's needed we can come back to it. (Sorry I should have posted these up yesterday).

This is the nuetral facial expression.

Angry.

Happy.

Sad.

Annoyed.

Suprised.

So, what do you think?

Gangster Pigeon 1....done and dusted.

2008-01-18T08:06:00.001Z

These are pictures of the final outcome of the Pigeon's Leader.

But the normals on the feet and back of the neck were a little odd so I asked Jessica to help me out, (hopefully she'll teach me what she did this week). This is what he looked like after her clean-up, the tiniest changes make the difference.

Pigeon 3 model sheets

2008-01-10T20:51:00.000Z

And again for the pigeon no.3

Pigeon 2 model sheets

2008-01-10T20:48:00.000Z

And the same process for pigeon no.2, he was difficult to figure out because of his height.

Pigeon 1 model sheets

2008-01-10T20:43:00.000Z

This is the model sheets for the leader pigeon, as you can see they changed quite a bit to fit the needs of the animation process and to make him look like a real gang leader.

My January Schedual

2008-01-10T18:33:00.001Z

It's crazy but true, I plan to be organised and I've given myself quite a challenge in an attempt to put more pressure on. I work great under pressure!!!

Men in the 60's research

2008-01-04T18:21:00.000Z

This is a sample research page I made for reference to designing the legs that walk past Little Owl in the street. I find it quite interesting that, unless you were a hippy, men wore very dark shades of black, greys and browns where-as the women were quite keen on the light pinks, yellows and lilacs.

Mother Owl Expression sheet

2008-01-04T18:12:00.001Z

Here's my mother owl expression sheet, I got some positive feedback so now I'm good to go on blendshapes for her.

The Pigeons 2008!

2008-01-04T17:58:00.000Z

Yup, we're still on the design of them, but we do want them just right. So, here's the latest, Jess has asked me to look into some hats for the pigeons for a more London and 60's look, I did like the results, plus I bulked up the left pigeon just to see, but he looks a bit out of character now.

And then Jess looked over them and added some eye-bags for a more sinister look, and the one on the right has frizzy hair....I think we're hopefully just about done with them now :D soon onto modelling these.

Sexy legs...and the research

2008-01-04T15:11:00.000Z

In Owl's day out he's going to be running around London and all sorts of legs are going to be in the way, so I'm going to design and model the legs (don't worry about the work, I'm modelling a set of female and male naked legs and extruding all the different outfits). Anywho, here are the ladies legs designs and the research that helped me (along with watching austin powers a lot).

Mother Owl update

2008-01-04T15:04:00.000Z

Well she was driving me insane, after smoothing her the polys sort of did their own thing and it didn't look great, it was my fault because of a bit of rushed modelling not all the polys were quads, I tried and tried but wasn't getting very far so I asked Jess for help and she is going to teach me her little tricks hopefully sometime this week! anywho here's where I left her before handing her over to Jess...

And after Jess' clean-up...

What I've been doing.

2007-11-28T08:15:00.000Z

Ok, here's what I've been up to, for the past couple of days (other than finishing off my essays for ANI_301 and ANI_302 ) I've been doing the sound mock-up for our Blockout whilst Jess works on the animating and modelling side of it. I have created one sound file of effects involved and 2 different music versions experimenting with timing and placement for our blockout. Unfortunately the files are too large to upload but I have made sure to include them in my ANI_303 hand-in.

All in all I think it was a successful 1st term in pre-production of our group film, my only problems were when Eva went away for one week to New York coming back with no work, I also feel that not enough responsibilities have been given to me, so I am adamant to take a major part in the animation side of our film once it kicks off, I have planned out many animation excercises over the christmas break so that I get my over-due practice in with the schedual in mind.

Pigeons Reloaded

2007-11-20T22:35:00.001Z

Ok, as I said before I had to make some changes to the pigeons:

The Don is now less fat, a bit chunkier muscle-wise, and I've opened one of his eyes.

The brains' hair is slightly longer, I gave it a younger looking colour.

The brawn's glasses have changed to a more John Lennnon look.

And all of them now have more flare-type trousers.

I don't like the changes too much but let's see what the group thinks.

The Pigeon's Glasses Research

2007-11-19T11:28:00.000Z

After another meeting with Jess on the re-worked pigeons there's quite a few changes to try out, firstly the Sunglasses on the brawn pigeon look wrong, so I've done some research into 60's glasses that I'm going to try out...

And here they are all together

2007-11-13T17:07:00.000Z

Pigeons Updated!

2007-11-12T20:52:00.000Z

Here's the latest update on the Pigeon gansters, I tried to make them look a bit more 'English' which was agreed from our last meeting. All I changed about the Don was that he has a lazy tie instead of a bow-tie, the brawn now looks a bit more scary and slightly drugged up, and the brains I meant to look like Michael Caine in 1969's 'The Italian Job'.

Don Pigeon

2007-11-08T11:58:00.001Z

Here's my latest attempt at Don Pigeon, I gave him a bowler hat instead of the 50's gangster one's a cigarette instead of a cigar and the cuffs and bow-tie I took from Asa's design ideas, all in all I was just trying to make him look a bit more English and I think the accessories look fun.

Little Owl in 60's Colours!

2007-11-07T18:33:00.001Z

Starting to think about colour more now also, here's what I've done, most of it inspired by the colours I've found from my 60's research.

Here's the GIF!!!! Just click on it to see Little Owl open his Wings!

2007-11-07T16:51:00.000Z

Little Owl has Little Changes...

2007-11-07T16:43:00.000Z

Ok, so I took Jess' last design of Owl...

Made a few changes here and there, I made him a bit chubbier, that sort of puppy fat you have as a kid, flared his feathers out a bit more around his trainers, made his pose slightly different to suit the modelling needs. I also chaged his hands to have square tips so that he could easily fuse from his hands to wings for flight, I made a Gif of this in Flash but unfortunately the blog wouldn't let me upload it but here's a still image instead....

Scene 1 Animatic - TAKE 2!

2007-11-01T20:56:00.000Z

Myself and Jess looked over my animatic for scene 1 today, the good feedback is that the timing is going quite well, just a few minor changes on camera, but the real problem was that it was hard to define the background from the fore-ground, so I have to sepearate the Owl from the rest of the scene somehow, because I'm doing my animatic using flash I think I'll overlay and outline him or any other important aspects.

Scene 1 Animatic

2007-10-31T21:18:00.000Z

Well I've done the animatic for scene 1 but I'm really worried about the timing, it was only supposed to last for 25-30seconds and it went on for 40! I tried to cut it down but it really took away the quality of the film to look messy instead of taking time to understand how Little Owl is feeling. This is something that the group will need to review again and again I'm afraid.

Today's Formative and Meeting

2007-10-29T17:58:00.000Z

Today we had our formative with Mike and then our PPD with Jared, I think both went really well, we got some nice positive feedback on how we work as a group and I think we're working at quite a steady pace so far, I really wish I had more time to work on the film but working 3 days out of the week is a necassairy pain, plus all the essay work we're meant to be balancing also - - arrrrgh!!!
Anyway, Mother Owl's design is done and dusted thanks to Jessica, I am really pleased with her final look, so I'm ready to go on modelling her (as soon as I install the latest Maya :P - hopefully tonight).
We still have to finalise Little Owl but since he is the most important character it's taking a bit long to decide on a final look - but we're very close!
Next is all the secondary characters like the pigeons, the bats, the fox and badger.
Lastly I'll look at legs! All the street legs that have to pass Little Owl on the streets of London, it'll be quite nice to give them all a cool 60's vibe and step.
Most importantly what I should concentrate on this week is my part of the animatic, then modelling Mother Owl, and if I can fit it in between I would like to start contributing a bit more on environment designs.

Pigeons again :)

2007-10-29T17:45:00.000Z

Here's the pigeon's again but I'm trying to narrow down on their designs.

There's the godfather pigeon at the bottom, I like that he's going to be one of those randomly fat pigeons that you catch sometimes in London, I've also added some accessories to establish that he's different from the others, hopefully people will see the connection to the stereo-type and know that he is the boss.
The muscle on the left is the less-talk more-action type, the glasses I've given him was to kind of add that whole bad-boy personality and the feathers are tuffed up around his colar to kind of match when kids put their colars up in school.
The lanky but square shouldered one on the right is meant to represent that kind of chatty gangster that won't shut up, laughs at everything the boss says and is quite annoying, I got the shoulder's off Asa's initial designs making it look like the pigeon is wearing a suit with very huge shoulder pads.

I got quite a bit of positive feed back from these designs, hopefulyl we'll move onto the final designs for them soon.

60's people

2007-10-24T16:55:00.000+01:00

and styles for people that we get to see, well, we're only seeing their feet and legs, but I thought little Owl might have a bicycle in his room or maybe we see a bike go by in the background when he's in the city.

60's interior

2007-10-24T16:52:00.000+01:00

some stuff for the house maybe?just in case...

60's accessories

2007-10-24T16:50:00.001+01:00

I've also started thinking what kind of things Little Owl can have in his room...

60's colour and patterns

2007-10-24T16:45:00.000+01:00

I've started looking more at colour and style now to help out with environment work.

Scene 8 Storyboards - 2nd Draft

2007-10-24T16:25:00.000+01:00

Continued...but scene 8.

Scene 6 Storyboards - 2nd Draft

2007-10-24T16:22:00.000+01:00

Same thing, but scene 6.

Scene 1 Storyboards - 2nd Draft

2007-10-24T16:16:00.000+01:00

So after going over the initial storyboards of scene 1,6 and 8 I have made a few changes, added bits, taken bits out and changed a few camera angles, next we'll try an animatic and see how our timing works out.

Little Owl Adaptation

2007-10-24T16:13:00.001+01:00

This is Little Owl mixed with mine and Jessica's designs, I think he still needs a bit more work before I make a proper model sheet.

1st draft storyboard scene's 6+8

2007-10-24T15:51:00.000+01:00

ok, I should have put these up aggges ago but my scanner was acting up (shock). Anywho, these were my original storyboards for scene's 6 and 8, we had a group meeting and will probably have 100's more just for storyboarding and the analysis of these were : -

the camera angles - the owl is a little guy in this big new world so their should be camera angles that exaggerate himself compared to everything else, a lot of low cast shots looking upward for example.
Specifics! - the audience needs to follow and understand where little owl is, so in scene 1 we need to determine how far he actually gets from his home before he spots london.
Details! - in scene 6 with the postcard he can't see his actual home in the picture he sort of imagines it there, so I need to find a better way of showing that.

Storyboard Thumbnails Scene_01

2007-10-18T18:27:00.000+01:00

We split up storyboard responsibilities so that we could mix and match ideas afterwards and give eachother good critical opinions to refine our work.
Here's my scene 1.

Scene 1 -25s

Int. In the tree house, Little Owl’s room - Dawn.

Present - Little Owl, mother owl.

Little owl sitting by the window looking out at the horizon, longing for the day, the sky goes brighter and brighter, birds wake up and fly off. Mother owl comes in and looks annoyed, points at the bed. Little owl tries to answer back but gets told off.

The following morning Little owl sits by the window looking out at the horizon, the sky goes brighter and brighter, birds wake up and fly off. Mother owl comes in and looks annoyed, points at the bed. Little owl storms off.

3^rd morning little owl sits by the window, mother owl comes in and little owl goes to bed without a fight. When the door is closed he opens his eyes, gets a welding protection from under his bed, puts it on and jumps out of the window.

Environment bits and bobs

All I've looked at so far are tree houses and what an owl's home could be like, however now that the theme is 60's we're going to try and give them 60's furniture etc whilst still maintaining that they live in a tree.

Pigeons

The pigeons are going to be so much fun to animate and model, since they are going to be 'Little Owl's' bullies when he gets to London we thought they could be their own little gang, so we are looking at stereo-typical gangsters, like the classic Godfather imagery and also the series 'Animaniacs' own gangster pigeons...the Goodfeathers.

Mother Owl

For Mother Owl everyone had more or less the same visual stereo-type of her, the chubby cuddly thing, big boobs etc etc but what was a really great look was all the 60's hair-styles that were trialed out on her, these were just initial concepts, Jessica is taking care of the finalised look of this character.

and more and more concept

ok so I finally got my scanner working again (yay!) and here's all the concept I've been doing the past week gone by. The group have had a few meetings regarding our concept, we decided we like that 'Little Owl' has trainers and a back-pack (gives him more of a boy-ish look) and I've also made his feathers at the bottom of his legs flare out to add to our new 60's theme to the short film.
